What makes cleaning proposals comparable?
Compare the same areas, tasks, frequency and access requirements. Two totals are not equivalent if one proposal covers different rooms, fewer visits or a different level of detail. Ask each provider to explain the assumptions behind the quoted work.
Start with your premises
Describe the facility, approximate size, occupied hours, shared spaces and visitor-facing areas. Include floors, kitchens, restrooms and high-touch surfaces in the scope discussion. Specialized or regulated environments need an explicit conversation about capability and requirements.
Clarify routine and additional work
Ask which tasks happen during each routine visit, which are periodic and which require a separate quote. Confirm whether disinfecting is included and how product selection and surface compatibility will be addressed. Keep the agreed task list with your proposal.
Check the company behind the quote
Ask about insurance, team screening, training and the documentation your organization needs. Rochester Residential & Commercial Cleaning is women-owned and WBE certified, with ISSA and BSCAI memberships and SAM.gov registration. Request current documentation when it is relevant to your procurement process.
Agree communication and access
Confirm who coordinates the work, how questions should be raised and how changes are handled. Discuss doors, alarms, occupied spaces and the time window available to clean. A clear plan helps the work fit the building’s daily operations.
Make the decision on scope and fit
Review the proposed work and current service terms with the office. If your requirements change, discuss them before work begins. For Rochester Hills and surrounding communities, request a commercial estimate with the details of the premises and your preferred schedule.
